OBrienSoldiersLetter audio audio_bookspoetry Audiobook - Poetry; war http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ Printed in March 1862 (about the time it would take to get such a letter written in January), this poem was one of the last things ever written by Fitz-James O'Brien. It's full of Victorian sentiment, but it also uses that in a rather clever way. It also tells a pretty good story. O'Brien was wounded in a skirmish on February 26, 1862, and died of complications from his wounds on April 6, 1862. 2006-03-06 2006-03-06 04:03:34 2006-03-06 11:59:38 suburbanbanshee@gmail.com Maureen S.
